If you're here to make the most of fishing in Galveston, look no further than Only Chance Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain John is prepared to put you on fish.

These waters are known for Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Cobia, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Red Snapper, Blacktip Shark, Bonnethead Shark, Hammerhead Shark, Spanish Mackerel, and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself! During the trip you might be spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

You'll be welcome aboard a 26' Robalo center console that holds up to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's recommended to bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that day dream into a reality, with Only Chance Charters.
